Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Aperitivo Milanese Porta Nuova Eau de Parfum
This almondy, powdery iris is a crowd-pleaser that evokes sophisticated Italian charm, often drawing comparisons to Prada's 'Infusion' line. While some find its performance fleeting, its smooth elegance is widely praised.

Our Verdict - Volkamaria Eau de Parfum
This is a lovely everyday scent, a close cousin to Lipstick Rose, though perhaps even better balanced. It's a tragedy it's so hard to hunt down.
